September 01 2021 - 10:00AM
Jamf (NASDAQ: JAMF), the standard in Apple Enterprise
Management, today launched a new purpose-built
training platform, Jamf Educator, aimed at helping teachers
and education technology coordinators empower
students with Apple technology in and out
of the classroom. Jamf also introduced new platform
updates to help educators remotely conduct exams and focus students
on Mac in today’s hybrid learning environment.
Jamf Educator – A New Purpose-Built Training Platform
for EducatorsJamf Educator bolsters Jamf’s ongoing
commitment to students’ success by providing teachers a
custom-built platform to learn about Apple
technology and how to use Jamf to get the most
from it. This training platform allows educators to
get hands-on with the Jamf Teacher app and apply it
in a simulation environment. Teachers who have a better
understanding of Apple technology can focus on creating a seamless
learning environment for students, while reducing the
need for support from IT.
Education technology coordinators are often critical to the
success of technology programs. Jamf designed a separate
track for education technology coordinators,
highlighting where the Jamf Teacher app can introduce
powerful classroom management tools to their
staff on their own devices with
simplified workflows that support teaching and learning
with Apple technology. This will ensure that they can support
the needs of the students and teachers in the classroom when
deploying Apple in their environment.

Remote Proctoring to Support Distance
LearningWhen students can’t be in the classroom,
whether it is because of a pandemic, facility issues or
severe weather, learning and exam technology that works
in class and from a distance can reduce learning
disruptions.
The Jamf Teacher app uniquely works in the classroom and
remotely to allow educators to continue to teach
students, no matter where they are located. Together with
the Jamf Assessment app, Jamf provides schools with a simple
method for remote proctoring of web-based assessment
exams. With this new update, Jamf has extended the
remote proctoring workflow to Jamf Teacher for Jamf School, making
it seamless for teachers to see both a live recording of the
screen and video of the student through the device camera. The
remote proctoring
workflow meets high-stakes web-based
assessment exam security requirements, including
screenshot detection, camera enablement, custom UI and exam view
size and custom exam URLs.
Ability to Focus Students on Every Apple
DeviceJamf Teacher has historically focused on
the classroom management workflows of iOS and
iPad OS devices. With this new update, Jamf is extending key
capabilities of Jamf Teacher to Mac classroom
management workflows. This allows teachers to use the
wedlock feature for students using any Apple
device. Extending this feature to Mac ensures that
teachers can bring classroom management to all
school-issued Apple devices and keep students focused
on learning. The Jamf Teacher updates will be available
in the App Store soon.
“This past academic year taught us that schools need technology
to support distance learning and teachers need training to
effectively use this new technology,” said Suraj
Mohandas, senior director of education product
strategy, Jamf. "We are excited to roll out Jamf
Educator and new updates to Jamf School to empower
teachers with Apple technology and help them create seamless
learning environments for students, regardless of whether or not
they are in-person or learning remotely.”
